Find a new dr. This one is abusive. Yiu deserve better

I had a doctor start me on 1800 mg of lithium. I soon became toxic. I got a call at midnight to stop med( already had cuz I was so sick) and drink water, I thought I was going to die. Vomited for 2 1/2 days.

I am on oxycontin been on it for years now but my doctor who I had for 20 years retired so I had to go and find a new doctor seen about 6 doctors and 👎 no-one would take me cause I was taking oxycontin they all said they didn't want the responsibility of me and I don't understand

That is exactly what I am going through now! Being treated like every other patient instead of being treated as me & for what I'VE been through.

Yes had one sleep through sessions been told I was afraid of girls not

I have had so many horrible psychiatrists, it's a nightmare. It takes a while to find the right one and one thing I have found is to advocate for yourself. For me, I am the one who makes the medication suggestions and whether I feel I need an increase or a decrease in the medication. I advocate for myself about it. If your doctor doesn't give an alternative, research yourself and find one to offer as a suggestion. I've had to do this dozens of times. Now, I go in and tell the doctor my ideas about medications to try and things like that. Some of them hate it, but they won't do their job otherwise. I do extensive research on medications as well to back myself up.

Alot of MD tend to be apprehensive about benzo..while my Psychiatrist isn't my fav..he did increase my benzos when my primary wouldn't. ..
